Riot Fest 2014 Line Up Announced

::Swoon:: One of my most favorite, festivals recently announced their plans to visit three cities this year. This year, Riot Fest will be celebrating their 10th anniversary named “10 Years. 10 Essential Albums.” Riot Fest will be stopping in Toronto on 9/6-9/7, Chicago on 9/12-9/14 and Denver on 9/19-9/21.

Riot Fest partner, Michael Petryshyn said, “During last year’s Violent Femmes’ set at Riot, where they performed Violent Femmes unannounced in its entirety, it dawned on me that if we ever did an album play thing at Riot, we should make it something that the fans would remember years from now. So, I literally was walking back to my trailer after their set and it hit me… ‘10 Years. 10 Essential Albums.’… and yeah, it grew from there.”

Seriously, I die a little at this line up. Check it out! So, so, so many great bands. If there is one festival you can/should attend this year, this one will be good for your musical soul.
